"Commander Zero" dies at 83 largely forgotten by the media. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/16/world/americas/eden-pastora-commander-zero-in-nicaragua-dies-at-83.html

Yet in 1983 his star shone so brightly a poseur styling himself "the Commander Zero of the Philippines" dated an American heiress on the West Coast (wearing a hat with an actual feather like Robin Hood) largely on the strength of stolen radical chic.

Abimael Guzman is from the same universe. This physically hideous man directed his revolutionary killings from the house of a beautiful upper class dance teacher.

Radical chic is a powerful thing among cultural elite circles even though they don't even know the cause, never heard of the country. They don't even care enough to know the real Commander Zero didn't wear a feather, like Robin Hood.
